What follows is a direct statement of facts concerning the defamation matter involving Greg Smith of Myrmidon Enterprises (plaintiff) and Tony Brisciani of zgeek (defendant). This has been published to provide interested media the facts of the matter. I have tried as much as possible to avoid using loaded terminology and to simply state the facts.
In June 2009 Greg Smith added a post (#137 of thread entitled “Aussie publishes 9/11 book – The Third Truth”, located in the section “ZGeek News > News, Reviews & Articles > News stuff > Front page news”) to a forum thread on the zgeek website, under the username “Jackal”. In the post Greg Smith stated his opinion of an exert from the book, “The Third Truth”. Greg Smith stated that he enjoyed the exert, found the arguments well-presented and interesting and recommend it to those who were interested in the subjects discussed.
Post #137
The publisher released a small pdf relating to the
The arguments are coherent and well presented. (Although I dislike reading off a computer screen.) The pictures are relevant and serve to provide excellent illustration of the points.

Soon after, the following material was published by Tony Brisciani
- Greg Smith was identified by name; the same post stated as fact that Greg Smith’s films did not exist
- referring to Greg Smith, “If we wanted him dead, it wouldn’t take more than 24 hours.”
- that Greg Smith’s business, Myrmidon Enterprises, did not exist, and that his film ‘MERCHANT OF DEATH’ did not exist
- that Greg Smith was a “nutcase scam artist” who has made “false job postings”
- that Greg Smith was caught soliciting sex from a transsexual in
- that Greg Smith is a liar and a fraud and has placed fraudulent job offers on a film industry website
- that Greg Smith loves “to rape hamsters for fun and profit”, that he enjoys “being stuffed in a port-a-john, set on fire and kicked down a hill while wearing little boys underpants”, that he has a “casual use of paint-huffing”, is a “microphallic support charter member” and that he is into “sado-necro-beastiality with an equine inclination”.
Every single one of these publications is demonstrably false, and easily able to be established as false.
Every single one of these publications is harmful, untrue, and intended to discredit and malign the subject, Greg Smith.
One of the comments published by Tony Brisciani comprised of a zgeek member asks other zgeek members to
“add all of his [Greg Smith] contact details we can find to every spam list generator we can find”.
